CA  Publishing  House  of  long  standing  and  enviable 
reputation  wrote  us  when  we  showed  them  camples  of 
ilHfcXanbra  Japan:  “It  is  quite  the  nicest  thing  for  an 
imitation  Japan  we  have  ever  seen,  and  you  may  be 
very  sure  we  will  consult  you  further  in  regard  to  this 
at  the  very  first  opportunity.” 

CIThese  people  know.  If  you  know  anything  at  all 
about  this  class  of  Clock  you  will  appreciate  what  they 
say  is  what  should  be  said.  We  could  never  have  made 
this  paper  anywhere  near  as  good  did  we  not  manu¬ 
facture  ^tratljmore  Japan,  than  which  there  is  none 
other  equal  or  similar  in  a  machine  made  paper.  These 
two  give  practically  a  complete  range — the  beCt  and 
medium  grades — with  an  excellent  assortment  of  items, 
and  supplying  nearly  every  requirement.  If  you  want 
something  different  in  any  way  we  can  make  it.

SHALL  sail  for  Europe  within  a  few 
days  on  a  special  mission  in  the  interests 
of  the  patrons  of  the  American  Machinist. 
My  orders  are  to  visit  every  Machine 
Tool  importing  country,  find  opportunities 
for  the  introduction  of  American  tools  and 
to  investigate  and  report  on  every  agency, 
x  '  and  to  in  every  way  help  in  the  promotion 
of  our  foreign  trade. 

The  American  Machinist  people  give 
me  carte  blanche  and  mighty  little  other 
instruction. 

You  will  hear  from  me  in  a  general  way 
through  the  paper,  but  if  there  is  any  specific 
thing  you  want  done,  or  to  know  about,  do 
not  hesitate  to  ask  me. 

I  will  be  in  the  saddle,  so  to  speak,  so 
send  letters  through  the  home  office,  505 
Pearl  Street,  New  York — they  will  reach 
me  promptly. 

Yours  very  truly, 

J.  W.  Carrel.

HE  muff.  The  name  itself  has  some¬ 
thing  about  it  that  savors  of  the  deli¬ 
cate,  downy,  and  voluptuous. 

From  this  little  nest,  warm  and 
satiny,  where  the  pretty,  but  chilly  little  hands 
bury  themselves  in  the  silk  lining,  carrying  with 
them  a  handkerchief  of  lace,  a  bottle  of  per¬ 
fumed  candies,  a  bouquet  of  double  violets,  or  a 
tender  love  letter;  a  thousand  things  rise  up 
and  unfold  themselves  before  us,  the  recollec¬ 
tions  of  our  youth  at  home  and  the  caressing 
sensations  of  our  first  truant  loves.

Notice  for  one  thing  the  similar¬

in  the  Antique  finish,  any  weight,  White  or

Strathmore  Quality”  Book  and  Cover  Papers,  but  not 
so  with  all  other  makes. 

C| Another  thing;  the  Antique  finish  is  a  handsome  finish, 
not  merely  a  good  printing  surface.  It  has  a  distinguish¬ 
able  character  and  adds  beauty  to  the  printing. 

tJThese  are  points  that  mean  value  and  advantage,  but 
they  do  not  coft  more  in  Alexandra.  There  are  other 
points,  too.  Just  look  °t  the  paper;  that's  the  best  Tsa’p.

ipiate  -printing 
on  gllexanbra  ?apan 

WE  show  on  the  sheet  preceding  a  photogravure 
which  well  illustrates  the  practicability  and  advan¬ 
tages  of  yllexandra  Japan  for  hand  plate  work  as 
a  whole.  Of  course  in  addition  to  photogravure  this  includes 
steel  engraving,  process  engraving,  etchings  and  mezzotints  all 
of  which  have  been  tried  out. 

Whether  the  subject  is  one  of  contrast  in  light  and  shade 
where  the  deep,  velvety  black  and  the  clear,  distinct,  sharp 
impression  bringing  out  detail  is  required,  or  a  subject  of  a  soft 
character  giving  delicate,  luminous  and  transparent  tones,  the 
paper  will  be  found  in  every  way  to  meet  all  requirements. 
The  general  run  of  papers  do  not  produce  these  results ;  the 
fine  tones  are  frequently  lost ;  the  blacks  appear  muddy  and 
the  subject  flat. 

We  will  gladly,  and  so  will  our  Agents,  send  sample 
sheets  of  any  or  all  items  of  ALEXANDRA  JAPAN  for 
testing.

then  corkscrewed  in  wide  loops  down  the  peaks. 
Far  below  in  fathomless  hollows  lay  villages,  slum¬

gleaming  from  a  tardy  window.  Villas  along  the

It  is  almost  midnight.  It  has  rained,  but  the  night 
air  is  soft  and  fresh.  Other  carriages  starting  with 
ours  run  a  mad  race  along  the  road.  The  horses, their 
heads  toward  home,  take  the  hills  at  a  trot  and  de¬ 
scend  at  a  gallop.  Vague  forms,  half  seen  in  the  misty 
moonlight,  speed  by:  pointed  cypress  tops  and 
many-fingered  pines ;  the  tall  shafts  of  aloes ;  over¬

bell,  narrow  stairs  climbing  into  the  night ;  on  the

THE  RUBBER  OFF-SET  PROCESS 

ONSIDERABLE  interest  is 
attached  to  the  illustration 
on  the  first  page  of  this  signa¬ 
ture  in  that  it  is  executed  by 
the  comparatively  new  rubber 
off-set  process  on  ALEXANDRA  JAPAN. 

It  shows  half-tones  and  coated  papers  are 
no  longer  a  necessity  for  a  wide  range 
of  illustrative  matter. 

The  mere  fact  that  an  Antique  stock, 
with  so  much  in  its  favor,  can  be  used 
in  preference  to  a  coated  stock,  is  an 
advantage  sufficient  to  commend  the 
process.  When  considered  in  connection 
with  the  results,  both  artistic  and  prac¬ 
tical,  the  effect  is  certainly  everything 
to  be  desired. 

Further  specimens  of  this  work  on 
ALEXANDRA  JAPAN  will  be  gladly  sub¬ 
mitted  to  anyone  contemplating  its  use.
